The G36 is not a subgun, damnit; 5.56 is a rifle round.  Limey newspapers need to learn their guns :)

Actually, 5.56 makes a great submachine gun round.....

...as a battle rifle round, not so much....

The level of idiocy is staggering, and the worst part is that she probably votes ;/.

Why don't I ever get neat stuff like this misdelivered to my home?  =(

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

You see, this is why I don't buy H&K firearms...my guns DON'T watch me with that creepy gleam...

Being that I'm currently gun-less, I'll have any reliable firearm I can get, even if it DOES have eyes and stares back at me! As long as it doesn't talk back, in phrases like "You suck, and I hate you!" :laugh:

Another vote for "submachine gun" as reference to a pistol-caliber full-auto weapon.

Well, then, why not call something as anemic as 5.56 a pistol round for which pistols are not common?
